Save the world from the melons and their melon-ness!

Great effort for your first LD, the story made us chuckle and is quite a good take on the theme :D Noticed a few layering issues but certainly with more time could see this as a solid game :)

Very nice job on your first LD! I hope you come back for another one. You might have run out of time and there's not too much to do in the game, but your time in Blender and Photoshop payed off: The visuals and animations are stellar. They are very smooth. Great job!

It's too bad you ran out of time, the art and music are awesome! You should have left the audio rating up - I'd have given it 5 stars there!

I loved how satisfying it was to smash the melons. Great animation!

Thanks HotBoxGames & DiegoEscalante for playing!

I had a ton of ideas, but yea...not enough time. Too much time spent on learning animation. I am happy with what I was able to accomplish and definitely happy with what I learned from the experience. The game is part of a larger idea I have involving the character in this game, so I will be taking this game up as a main project right now. It was a great time and can't wait till Ludum Dare #33! Thanks again! :D

Thanks ProjectX593 & OnlySlightly!

I opted out of the music, because it was from www.nosoapradio.com

It would be awesome to do some music of my own, but electronic music creation is something else I need to learn. I downloaded LMMS, but haven't had the time to get into the program.

Smooth animations. Congrats on a successful first LD.

Thanks mike.cullingham for trying out my game!

I had a good time with the animations; wish I would have gotten further with the gameplay, but time was against me. :O

The artwork and music are fantastic. I'd love to see where this could go with more time spent on it. Nice work, keep it up!

Thanks TheMeorch!

I'll be working on the game more, soon.

I like the smooth animation of the character very cool. Unfortunately collisions are missing...
